The Time&Space deal is about another 30% off the normal upgrade price.  I guess that's good enough, I ordered it.
 
Still no clue on how EZX kits look when loaded into it though.  I watched all the videos (Sweetwater's is very good) but not once did anyone load an EZX kit.
 
The MIDI features look nice though.

Some would also pay $200 not to have to deal with a drummer as well!

LOL!  Thank you!

Best quote of the day!

Not as much if you don't need/load all the surround-sound samples.  I think you're looking at around 150GB

Big question.

Another semi-big question, will SD3 negate SD2 form existence like EZD2 did to EZD1?

And you only have to pay the price of a pizza to not have to deal with a bass player.

The FAQ says SD2 will stay put and is completely separate.

Program UI looks interesting but 
 
Regarding the introductory video..
Why are the drums mixed so far down in the demo mix? Loud guitars, quite drums... makes you wonder.
Why set up the drum kit in the middle of one of the world's premiere sound stages and then enclose the drum kit in acoustic baffles?  makes no sense...  that affects the room mics making them sound muffled and more remote.
And now - "We're recording in not only surround but height" - wow.
So now you can tell your mixing engineer (or have someone tell you) 'Hey can you make the drums sound taller?"
or maybe "can you make the kit sound like the listener is sitting the in nosebleed section of a concert? I always preferred the added vertical ambiance of the cheap seats.."
 
SD4 kits will add subfloor mic'ing techniques so that you can add depth to your drum mixes as well.
 
I think I'd be way more interested in a $99 upgrade path without the new sample content. 

Meh......I'll pass. It's OTT for me.
 
Not buying another HD just to have some more drums that I don't really need.
